hot & bothered...

if you haven't heard whispers (or been whispered to) about the 50 shades of grey trilogy, then you've probably been living under a rock. 

e.l.james's series is the latest trilogy of page turners that's keeping ladies up at night because they can't.get.enough.

i've heard all about the book from quite an astonishing amount of people and i figure it's about time i see what all the hoopla is about.  and from what i hear... the hoopla has a lot to do with hot & heavy detailed sex scenes complete with nasty bits, s&m & the like all wrapped into a story about innocence and romance. 

the effect this book has had on the ladies i've talked to is quite funny. 

everyone whispers like it might be wrong to be reading it... and NO ONE can talk about this book without getting flush in the face, a tad hot & bothered or stuttering a bit. 

pretty amazing if you ask me.

the whole thing has me giggling to myself because if there are THIS MANY LADIES running around ready to hop between the sheets and get their nittiest grittiest groove on... there MUST BE a ton of VERY HAPPY & SATISFIED men, husbands, fathers, lovers, etc. thanking god that e.l.james got these puppies published. 

and since these books seem to be sweeping their way across the states, it looks like there should be a lot of happy, whistling, smiling people moving about their day.


i just downloaded the first book to my kindle...not sure what i'm getting into but this should be fun.
